Seeing Qin Shuo laughing as he went into the carriage, Wei Si looked at the still kneeling Wen Fu Chen, and couldn't help but light a candle in his heart to Wen Fu Chen.

Facing Hu Xiao, a woman with such great kung fu skills, he was making things difficult for a weak scholar like Fu Chen.

"Sir Wen, His Majesty brought the medicine for you. It's extremely effective. Empress, I hope you won't take offense to the Empress's actions today."

To be able to turn the Minister of State like this with a single punch, Wei Si gained a new understanding of the martial arts of laughing, and he could not help but feel slightly at ease with the mercy that Hu Xiao had shown to the emperor in the past.

"Thank you, Eunuch Wei."

The emperor was going to protect the empress now, so even if Wen Fu Chen had feelings for the empress, he could only swallow them back down.

"Milord."

A trace of heartache flashed through Madam Wen's eyes as she looked at the stunned Fu Chen. She had long heard of Hu Xiao's domineering arrogance, but she had never seen it before. Now, it seemed that the news had spread and Hu Xiao was such a person!

Looking at Fu Cheng's pale face, Madam Wen couldn't understand why Qin Shuo would marry such a lady and protect her everywhere!

With a sigh, he carried the scholar back to his residence.

The vertical sun.

Qin Shuo's attitude was known to Fu Chen. Seeing Fu Chen's normal expression, Zhao Qiyan guessed Fu Chen had thought it through.

"Since This Emperor has decided to bring the Empress along with us on the southern side of the patrol, there is no need for all my beloved officials to discuss this matter. If there is nothing else, we will withdraw from the court."

"This subject and others respectfully send you off, your majesty."

In Tai Chi Hall, the court officials did not leave in a hurry after seeing Qin Shuo leave.

"It seems that Sir Wen is not against the idea of bringing His Majesty on a tour of the south with the Empress?"

In the past, wasn't this the most positive thing for Fu Chen? Yet today he did not say a word? It was really strange, as if the sun had risen from the west.

Seeing this, the other official hurriedly pulled him aside.

"Don't spout nonsense. Who in the court doesn't know that Minister Wen and the Empress are at odds?" You actually dare to touch the Minister of Arts' brow in this kind of result, don't you want your future? And yesterday, I saw the Queen coming out of the Minister of Wen, so something must have happened. "

After hearing those words, the official panicked. He hurriedly nodded his head and left.

Naturally, Fu Cheng heard the conversation between the two. However, he did not have the time to converse with them. He followed Wei Chen to the study room.

"Enter the Emperor."

"My beloved one is here. Is your beloved one's injury better yesterday?"

Although Fu Cheng was surprised, he did not show it on his face. He could not guess what was on Qin Shuo's mind.

"Thank you for the empress's concern, this humble subject is much better."

He had thought that Qin Shuo had only asked him to come to his study room for the sake of yesterday's events, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"It's good that you're feeling better. I'll bring two of my concubines with me when I go to the southern side. One of them has to be the empress, while the other one has a lover. What do you think?"

Although the style was old-fashioned and rigid, sometimes, one could still listen to the style of the court, allowing Qin Shuo to think things through.

"This subject thinks that the other person is most suitable to be Imperial Concubine Xue. Imperial Concubine Xue has been on patrol in the south, so she's naturally more experienced than Esteemed Empress. The two of them could help each other out."

Previously, he had told Qin Shuo that he would need to bring Imperial Concubine Xue along with him, but His Majesty had never let him go. Now that Qin Shuo had taken the initiative to bring up the matter, it was exactly what Fu Chen wanted.

Just as he was worrying about how to bring it up with His Majesty, he didn't expect Qin Shuo to bring it up on his own accord.

In the letter yesterday, Xue Meng'er had naturally mentioned that Qin Shuo had secretly asked Xue Mu'er to prepare to accompany him on a tour of the south, but Xue Meng'er felt very unsettled. She seemed to be afraid that Qin Shuo would forget about this matter and intentionally let Wen Fu Chen think of a way to confirm it in front of Qin Shuo.

"That's fine too. I'll leave Imperial Concubine Xue's business to you. The empress has Yin Fufeng to handle it."

When Qin Shuo heard this, he didn't say anything more. Tomorrow, he would leave the palace to patrol the south and worship the heavens.

There was nothing important to worry about recently. Thinking of Hu Xiaoxiao's appearance yesterday, he said, "Let's go to Yongning Palace."

Tomorrow was the day of her southern patrol, and if the empress was in poor health, that would be a big concern.

"Zhilan, how did I get back?"

Hu Xiaoxiao felt much better after waking up, but his head still ached. His memories remained in his Wen Mansion from yesterday, but he woke up and went back to the palace.

"Empress, you frightened Zhilan yesterday. Fortunately, His Majesty saw that the Empress had not returned to the palace for a long time, so he went out to welcome you. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Zhilan saw that Hu Xiaoxiao was in such a bad mood that she couldn't drink alcohol. Zhilan thought that Hu Xiaoxiao knew about this, but she never thought that Hu Xiaoxiao wouldn't be able to control it in the slightest!

"Alright, I know I was wrong. Tell me, how did the emperor accept me back to the palace?"

Wasn't it Zhao Qiyan? To think that Qin Shuo had nothing to do in the palace to bring him back to the palace, it was hard for him, and the Son of Heaven was so wronged.

"His Majesty was so gentle yesterday and treated the empress very well."

He had originally thought that Zhilan would make fun of Qin Shuo like she used to, but Hu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhilan and was slightly startled. Just what had happened to her while she was drunk? Why was Zhilan so abnormal?

"Empress, His Majesty has come. If you have any questions, ask them yourself."

After hearing the voice of Wei Chen and Wei Yan Er, Zhilan ran out, leaving Hu Xiaoxiao alone, unable to make heads or tails of the situation.

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty."

Looking at the leisurely approaching Qin Shuo, he felt better after seeing that he was welcomed back to the palace yesterday by Qin Shuo.

"Exempt from the formalities, does your head still hurt?"

Qin Shuo himself had experienced the pain of a hangover. Yesterday, he had asked Yin Fufeng about it, and had thought that with Hu Xiaoxiao's personality, he would be able to drink quite a bit, but he never thought that Hu Xiao would be the one to pour out a bowl!

Although he found it funny, Qin Shuo held it back on the surface. Yesterday, Hu Xiaoxiao had gone insane in the Wen Mansion, and looking at his heavy attack, tomorrow would be the day of the southern patrol. Qin Shuo knew that he would never dare to provoke Hu Xiao, and if Hu Xiao became angry because of this, he would have done something unpredictable, and it would not be worth it.

"Your Majesty, I heard Zhilan say that it was Your Majesty who brought me back yesterday? Thank you, your majesty. "

Zhilan would never lie to him, so Hu Xiao still believed in her. Although when Mr. Mo Zhu talked to Hu Xiao, he still felt that Qin Shuo was a chicken woman, but now, he should thank her.

"En, that's alright. Who asked you to be the lonely empress? Tomorrow, we'll be visiting the south. Are you ready?"

Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao being so well-behaved, Qin Shuo was not used to it, but he felt that Hu Xiao was a good person. After all, he did not have the physique to be a masochist.
